You like hog hunting?

Bill, I notice that you are taking your pig spotter with you; good move!  That means you will probably get something now.

I did some more field testing of the 200 grain Bruins with 75 grain inserts last week.  This hog only went 6" after impact.

 

This one made it about 10-15 yards but bled profusely and was dead on its feet...

 

It was a brief but productive hunt.  I am sold on these Grizzly Bruins!  Hoping to use them on turkey, deer, bear, elk and moose this year if my plans come together.

and though Jeff wont do it...I will for him.  He is one of the hardest working and most committed free hunt organizers around...he goes above and beyond in helping this become a successful hunt no matter your definition of that result.

I have been three times and missed two times and have loved it every time.  It is by no means your normal pig hunt.  The terrain is challenging to say the least with the tall grass, wind and pluff mud and marsh mix.  Hip boots, weather for any climate, and a good sense of direction is paramont but recommend you use a compass or at least GPS to keep bearings.  Spot and stalking wild hots is very rewarding even if no shots fired.
Here is my last pig...old boar...and again Jeff was there to help recover and drag the thing out which is no small feet in that mud alone.  

Thanks for all the hard work and dedication Jeff.
